Mahindra 2615

Mel G. · May 30, 2007

I bought my tractor about 8 weeks ago, I didn't want to write anything or make a reply until I had time to really shake it down. After about 16 hours a problem with the hydrolics started. It showed in the steering, 3 point hitch and FEL. I looked it over real good and found the hydrolic filter was badly dented. I'd say it was from shipping. It looked as if someone had spray painted over the dents.
I called the dealer, our local dealer in Marysville Wa. is Kitsap Tractor,These guys have been really good to work with. They made arrangements to pickup the tractor from my home. Thats about 60 miles and a ferry ride to their shop in Silverdale Wa. They had my tractor back to me in about a week and everything worked perfect. Oh yeah the problem. Someone had dented the hydrolic filter and broke the bracket.
This 2615 is some workhorse, it just keeps asking for more. I hate to say it but it's taken the place of our old tractor and doing the work of a small bulldozer. Mel

Sounds like you have a great dealer. I know you have a great tractor!

Welcome to TBN and specifically the Mahindra forum.

I especially like sharing ideas and tips with other 2615 owners. If you have any, please share. If you have any questions about the 2615, I'll do my best to answer them. If I can't answer them, I'm sure others here will chime in.

Later,

BR

Thanks BR,
The 2615 is joining a 1949 Farmall cub I purchased about a year ago. I really can't compare the tractors they both have their good points and I like working with the old and new tractors. Mel

I am going to my local Mahindra dealer tomorrow to take a look at some tractors. I thought I was only going to be looking at tractors in the 30+HP range, but I believe the 2615 would do fine. I have 10 acres of land and just broke ground a couple of days ago on a new house. Uses for the tractor would be to rough cut (pretty bad with weeds right now) around 7 acres, maintain a driveway, garden work, someday will have small livestock. Sounds like that model will do all of that and more. I also think they have a better finance special going on right now for the 2615 gear. Opinions?

2615 is a great little machine. I got a little bigger frame with the 3215 and it is serving me well. They are tuff built and get the job done. good luck with your choice.

I think the 2615 would serve your needs well. Mine handles a 5' KK rotary cutter very well, but I wouldn't want to go any bigger. Cutting 7 acres with a 5' cutter will take some time, but you'd have to jump to the 35 HP class to really handle a 6' cutter well (my opinion for what it's worth). On a new home site, the 2615's loader and a 5' boxblade will be handy tools to have. Good luck. Keep us posted on your purchase decision(s).

Nissan, I own a 2615 HST, and use it to maintain seven of my 10 acres. Much of my use is similar to your situation: blackberries, weeds, field mowing, and moving materials. I maintain a 1/4 mile gravel road, too.

I am so glad I did not get the 2615 gear. The luxury of not shifting into reverse while doing my work is priceless. My tractor is almost 2yrs. old, I have about 240 hrs. and I look forward to many more trouble free years. Nothing has really gone wrong except for minor issues overlooked in the Texas assembly plant. My dealer took care of them.

My finance deal is 36 mo. no interest. However, there is an administrative fee, and mandatory insurance.

Anyone willing to share what they paid for their 2615 with a fel? I am looking at the gear model and was quoted a price of 15,260. Dealer just left me a message saying a package deal was now in effect with the tractor, fel, box blade, and rotary cutter for 16,700 + tax. All implements are Mahindra brand. That would be 0% for 48 months. I still think that is a little on the high side. I was thinking more in the range of 15,300 - 15,800. This is the only dealer in the area that sells Mahindra. The other dealer dropped the line and started selling TYM. Thanks.

I just sent you a PM.

I'm in total agreement to AchingBack's experience. I went from thinking HST was just a gimmick to being in the 'how did I ever live without it' camp. (Only got it because the unit in stock had it & didn't want to wait for the gear over such a little $.)
Worth every penny in & of itself!

Which for me also applies to the 3710 Backhoe. I knew it would be handy, but it's all that and MUCH more. Ideal way to clear lots of rough brush, move & place material, pull stumps, etc. {Is it fair/allowed to link or 'quote' one's own post here? Hope so - here's a photo to prove it will pull decent stumps}
